The History of the Town of Hingham lists among Thomas Barnes's children "Elizabeth, Dec. 8, 1644. m. Murfea, or Murfett," very likely a mis-rendering of Mulford.

Her father's will of 29 Apr 1671 names his married daughter as "Elizabeth Murfett" (Barclay, TAG 40:193-198, as cited on WikiTree). This is the record that ties Elizabeth to Thomas Mulford of Eastham; "Murfea/Murfett" is likely a mis-rendering of Mulford (inferred).

Open questions

  • Her father's will of 29 Apr 1671 "gives the names of w. and ch."; it has not been read here. Reading it for the married daughter "Elizabeth Murfett" that Barclay reports would firm up the link.
  • Is 8 Dec 1644 her birth or her baptism? The colonial tree reads the Hingham history's date as a baptism at Hingham; the page follows the reading as a birth date. Her elder brothers, the twins Thomas and John, are given there as baptized (21 May 1643).
